If they are, is >there a difference? Which would be the preferred way? If none is >correct, what would be the correct way to say it? The preferred way is to say: Actually, there is not one right answer. Some people don't like multiple ku's, so my "mi lenu mi tcidu le cukta ku ku do skicu" would be horrible. Some of us like SOV constructions wherever they don't get unweildy, and would be most likely to use "mi lenu mi tcidu le cukta kei do skicu" or similar. Some people are word-order bigots (zo'o) and would never use anything that didn't begin with "mi skicu". So whichever one of these YOU want to use is probably the right one. --la kreig.daniyl.
